I'd stick with what you've got and if you think you want something bigger next year you'll be able to get a good price for your Montana which is always in demand second hand, and you can trade up and get a new tent.

The Monty is 13kg lighter and I guess with kids that age you'll be taking loads of kit with you, so the saved space in the car is good.

Once you start thinking 'maybe I should have chosen that' it never ends because there are so many choices out there! Next year you'll be thinking 'maybe I should have gone for polycotton' and you'll end up getting a Wolf Lake 7.

The Monty is good for you needs, enjoy it!

I'd say go with whatever your gut instinct tells you is the best tent for you....

And even then it'll be wrong!

I have the smaller Vermont M, but the XL is really, really big.

I ruled it out because of its size and the storage and weight, a bit OTT for my own requirements.

Had I already a Monty 6 I certainly wouldn't go to the trouble os trying to swap. Yours is a fine tent.

We have just bought our 'new to us' Monty and i cant wait to use it - just want to get the extension now....does any one know where i can get one less than £120?

thanks
